EP. 4 - That Time I Befriended A Modern Day Shaman

Jen had the evidence. The footage. The eyewitness accounts. The background reports. The professional confirmation. She had done everything right — and still, the picture wasn't complete. The why kept slipping through her fingers.   This episode is about the conversation that changed the direction of everything. From a COVID-era speakeasy hidden behind an alley in Mid-City, to a support group phone call she never expected to be on, Jen follows the thread from what she knows to what she's finally ready to name. And somewhere between a casting notice taped to an art deco door and a term she had never heard before, someone she trusts completely sees exactly what she sees.   Some people have a name for what you've been experiencing. This is the episode where Jen finds it.   Learn more about Jen and read the original blog posts for Talk Nerdy to Me   Contact Jen for interviews.   © 2026 Jen Friel - All rights reserved.
